Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The participant-observer method involves the researcher becoming a part of the group they are studying, which can create challenges with maintaining objectivity and ethical behavior. This is especially true for vulnerable populations like the homeless and urban crack addicts. The other methods listed (case study, correlational study, and unobtrusive measures) may also have ethical and objectivity challenges, but they are not as specifically tied to studying these types of groups.
